High End Katana
Introducing the “Washi no Tsume”, or “Eagle’s Claw”, a Japanese katana that embodies the fierce precision and grace of its namesake. Crafted from 1095 carbon steel, this blade undergoes traditional clay tempering to create a stunning and unique hamon, signifying the highest standard of swordmaking.
Each blade is meticulously handcrafted and honed to razor sharpness using real Japanese water stones. The saya is notably elegant, featuring buffalo horn elements that complement its refined wood appearance, enhancing both its beauty and durability.
The differential hardening process ensures that the blade remains exceptionally sharp, even with rigorous use. The handle is luxuriously covered with real ray skin and tightly wrapped in Japanese silk, providing a secure and comfortable grip.
Perfect for tameshigiri, the art of katana cutting, the “Washi no Tsume” slices through bamboo mats with ease, demonstrating its superior cutting ability. With its exquisite blade and simple yet elegant wood appearance, this katana stands out among higher-priced swords, making it a coveted piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
“Observation and perception are two different things. The eye that observes is stronger; the eye that perceives is weaker.“
